    I am missing some of the short, T5 Torx screws that attach the under panel to the laptop. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact dimensions of the screws, and I can't find any type of technical manual online that has this information. I searched eBay / Amazon but most aren't Torx, and none are specifically Torx for Zenbooks. Are these screws rare? Or would any local shop have plenty lying around?

    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be a local shop. If you have one the same size bring that with you. It does not have to be a Torx type head, a phillips will be fine, just as long as the threads and length match.

    I know it's really late to reply, but if you still missing screws I have the answer for you.
    Torx screws are hard to find and they aren't even that great, because they tend to wear down my torx screw tip over time.
    I use Philip head screws for my ux31a and they work perfect. Heres are the dimensions:
    8 short screws: M2 x 2mm (3mm works fine too)
    2 long screws: M2 x 7mm (6mm or 8mm work fine too, I used 6mm)

    Here's the link for eBay:

    P.S If you still able to get on the site, you can try asking the seller to send you 10 3mm and 10 6mm. Hope my post helped.

    You can also contact MSI service & support and they can send you some.
